All the folks in Ramsey Library extend a warm welcome to all the new members of our community, welcome back those who were away over the summer, and congratulate all who stayed around for all their hard work. We wish you all the most fulfilling and joyful year.

CITS
You’ll recall that late last spring Distance Learning Services (Greg Dillingham & Emily Ellis) as well as John Myers (Instructional Technology Consultant) moved organizationally though not physically to become part of the Library’s Media Services under the able leadership of Rudy Moorrees. Recognizing the broadening of mission and following an agonizing search for just the right name, we’re pleased to announce that this new grouping of old friends and reliable professionals is now known as CLASSROOM & INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT (CITS). Be sure to visit their web site.

DISTANCE LEARNING CHAMPIONS
As one of the smaller campuses served by NCREN, the North Carolina academic internet system, you wouldn’t necessarily expect us to be among the leaders in the number of total video hours. Nevertheless, Greg Dillingham reports that UNCA’s Distance Learning Services was among the top two institutions for fiscal 2007 with 1,774 hours second only to UNC Wilmington’s 1,798. And we’ve been among the top two nine years running! Many thanks and congratulations to Greg, Emily Ellis, and their student workers. Check out the numbers:

NEW READINGS ON ACADEMIA
The previous issue of NOTES FROM RAMSEY proudly announced the library’s new blog and news section featured in the lower left corner of the library main page < http://bullpup.lib.unca.edu/library/>. As we begin the new year, you’ll want to check out the recent listing of new readings on academia. Who knows? We may find just the thing to make us even better?
